Egbert to Move to Washington Gus Egbert, who for the past twelve years has been manager of the Union Pipe Factory at Owensville, has been made superintendent of the Missouri Meerl-sehaum Factory at Washington where he has ulnady i ikeii charge of the work. Mr. Egbert and family will move to Washington the latter part of this month. We are sorry to see this estimable family leave us, especially so as Mr. Egbert has taken prominent part in the various affairs of the town and has been one of our best citizens. He came here from Indianapolis. Indiana, when the pipe factory was first built, in fact moved the factory from Indiana, and has been in charge of it ever since. He has workill faithfully for its success but has always been handicapped by a lack of capital. When this factory was purchased by the Missouri Meerschaum interests last winter the management felt they had acquired a valuable, experienced man (he has been in the pipe manufacturing business for 25 j years) and were anxious to get i him to the Washington factory, i Mr. Eglert was loathe to leave Owensville but the inducements offered 'were too great for re- , fusal, so we are to lose him, ami we don't believe the Missouri ! Meerschaum Factory could have found a better man for the position.Gerald Wetzel will assume the : management of the Union Pipe Factory and we are informed has purchased the Egbert residence, so undoubtedly a wedding is imminent. Gerald lias worked in the factory for a number of years and is thoroughly conversant with the manufacture of cob pipes. J. 15.

NO W 5TE i I 1 1 Consistency YOU want a motor car that will serve you consistently. You want to know that your car can be relied upon cloy in and day out. You want high mileage per gallon of gasoline and freedom from repairs and readjustment:;. And you want these things, not occasionally, but-continuously day after day. On these qualities the Maxwell has made good. It has proved its worth. When the Maxwell stock touring car set the World's Meter Non-Stop Mileage Record a short time ago it travelled for 4v ccvis' cutive days and nights and its performance wan consistent.It went about 500 miles each and every day. It went within a small fraction of 22 l-ites to every gallon of gasoline. It v -- ::'c the whole distance ol 22,000 -probably further Lhar, ycu would travel in two years .vilhau ivv repairs or read' justmcnts. Every cue of eight tires (two sets) went just about 9,800 miles and the otk.rs finished in good shape. For consistency and reliability this record far excels anything we ever heard of. You can get a Maxwell, an exact duplicate of the record breaking stock car, on the partial payment plan we have perfected. All you have to do is to make the initial payment, then take thu car and pay the balance as you ride. Tho unusual value of thj Maxweil, together with our easy payment plan of purchase, is bound to dispose of our allotment of cars very quickly.
